Candice Cole , LPC

Candice Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with ten years of clinical experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Candice also helps with attention challenges, self-esteem struggles, career stress, and issues many women face as they navigate life changes.

Her work draws on clear, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior tools. She uses client-centered and acceptance-focused approaches to help people notice what matters most, build coping skills, and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-world steps.

Candice pays attention to how identity, culture, and life experience shape a person’s needs. She listens for what matters to each person and adapts her style to match. That means conversations about gender, sexual orientation, relationships, and background are welcome and treated with respect.

She has experience addressing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, parenting challenges, and eating or sleeping problems. Candice supports clients dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, and caregiving burdens. Her approach balances practical skill-building with emotional processing.

Practically, sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Candice works with adults who want focused, steady support to manage symptoms and make life changes. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on valued actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by emphasizing chosen behaviors over unhelpful rumination. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which helps with anxiety, mood, sleep, and some eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early connections shape current trust and intimacy, which is helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Candice collaborates with each person to identify goals and tries methods that fit those goals and personal preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan if needed so the approach stays practical and relevant.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging - make therapy more flexible. Video is close to an in-person conversation and lets the therapist and client read facial cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins, skill practice, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy lives while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
